Sure enough it gave me a fuller warm sound. I patched the Pultec EQ into that bass guitar track. The SSL channel EQs just weren't helping that at all. One day I was doing a mix where the bass guitar just didn't feel like it had enough low-end "warmth" to it. However, it still had some very desirable characteristics that many studios sought after and I experienced that as well.
The Pultecs were actually kind of noisy due to using tube amps in them and for some instruments, it tended to make things kind of muddy/dull sounding with not a lot of adjustment to try and correct it. In that same studio it also had 2 Pultec EQs. However, that hasn't stopped a large majority of plugin designers from creating SSL 4000E and 4000G plugin channel sim EQs. However, they could also be some of the harshest EQs I ever heard when applying over 9dB of gain to a frequency due to the SSL used pretty standard transistor op-amps from that 80's era. What was great about the channel EQs was they were easy to use and you could could really dial in on what you wanted to adjust with pin point accuracy. For instance, the 1st console I learned to mix on was an SSL 4000G. Some console EQs even had a harsh sound about them that some grew to like. For instance, some prefer the sound of analog EQs from old studio consoles where there are characteristics of analog modeling phase shifts, tube, transistor, and analog op-amp noise characteristics. Where EQs separate themselves is in the user "preference" and "Characteristics" categories where the built-in SFP EQs won't give you any of that. The ones built inside of SFP are basically, what you see is what you're going to get.
There's nothing wrong with the EQs in SFP IMHO, where EQs are one of those processes where things tend to be less critical in regards to sound quality adjustment. <- This is pretty good and people like Julian Krause uses it for his workflow. This is a good place to learn about plugins and such, I find: Of course, it may not play well with SFP, so I would need to use something else. For someone with low skill like me, it really makes a rapid difference. I demo'd them and they do amazing stuff with problem audio. I wonder why Magix did not put out a serious EQ like Equilibrium by I am seriously looking at the Acon Digital stuff and waiting for a sale. I don't count the Ozone/iZotope stuff because that is too rich for my blood and grizzled veteran people in audio say the Elements stuff are not very good. SFP and attendant suites come with a lot of plugins, but a major eq seems to be missing. I am somewhat getting more serious about audio so I need to allocate meager resources carefully. Thanks for the suggestions, I will examine closer (just looked now, they are kind of pricey for me.
